Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFollowing military tensions between Pakistan and India in 2016, various Pakistani artists were banned from working in India. There was similar pressure applied on the makers of Raees to replace Pakistani actress, Mahira Khan. The film's producer, Farhan Akhtar refused to do so and the female lead remained the same.
- GoofsWhen Jairaj's hit man tries to kill Raees from rooftop Raees wasn't wearing his spectacles glasses. Without his glasses it should be impossible to spot the hit man and throw something to disarm the hit man.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was seen for advice prior to its submission for formal classification. The distributor was advised that the film was likely to be classified 15 uncut but that their preferred 12A classification could be obtained by reducing a number of scenes of strong bloody violence. When the film was submitted for formal classification most of the scenes highlighted at the advice stage had been acceptably reduced. However, one scene had not been acceptably reduced and further cuts were therefore required in that scene. An uncut 15 classification was available.

Featured review
First of all I would like to make it very clear that neither I am SRK fan nor his hater; I only appreciate good movies. I would like to make this review as short and crisp as possible. My a expectations were lot high for this movie, and I myself expected a lot from SRK ( who really has not done any groundbreaking projects almost for past 5-6 years). The movie is flat and time and again it seems to be dragging unnecessarily. The basic thing which srk should understand by now is that the DDLJ era is long gone and the audience is evolving along with their tastes. Nawaz and SRK were really good in their respective performances and that's all good I had about the movie. The story was like any other old gangster movie. Except few of the entry scenes of SRK the action of the movie is quite lousy one and the worst part of the movie is its ending. Overall Raees is again a Himalayan disappointment at least for me.
